Reception edit

Reviewing for New Musical Express, Derek Johnson wrote that the band "certainly believe in ringing the changes. This time they've abandoned the Bend in favour of an up-tempo, almost breathtaking, exotic Latin rhythm. It's a sort of bossa rumba, with a touch of Afro-Cuban thrown in for good measure".[3] Reviewed in Record Mirror, it was described as "a powerful up-tempo belter, marked by clever drumming and piercingly exciting falsetto vocal work".[4]
